TURNBULL STREET

After spending six years in a two bedroom + sunroom cottge, the client's family was growing and needed more space. Their dream was to have a light filled house, with an upstairs extension that kept in with the look and feel of the home, it was important the extension did not feel simply 'tacked on'. Retaining the facade of the home was also paramount.

Raked ceilings, huge bifold doors, and an abundance of glass overlooking the backyard was the solution to providing ample light. Upstairs provided the client with a spacious master bedroom, juliet balcony, ensuite and walk in robe, a study and playroom. Although not in the breif, the expansive roof space perfectly accomodated their children's toys.

Downstairs an open plan living room/dining, new kitchen, and internal laundry were added. The old formal dining room was converted into the main bathroom, and new joinery was added to the two children's rooms in the origional part of the house. Outside, a paved deck, entertaining area and pool were added.

"After spending 6 years in our 2 bedroom + sunroom cottage our little family was growing and we decided we needed more room. Our dream was to have a light filled house with an upstairs extension that didn't look like we had popped a caravan on the roof. The house had a lovely facade and we wanted to retain that. Raked ceilings, huge bifold doors and an abundance of glass overlooking the backyard was the solution to providing ample light.

Outside we added a paved back deck, entertaining area and pool. Our newly renovated house suits our family perfectly and we couldn't have been happier with the builder, the quality finish and the attention to detail." - Client
